A Piece of the Action
“A delightfully delicious dilemma!”
ComedyCrime
How does retired cop Joshua Burke (James Earl Jones) get two career criminals, Manny Durrell (Sidney Poitier) and Dave Anderson (Bill Cosby), to follow the straight and narrow? Con them into helping juvenile delinquents turn over a new leaf. But how? Burke has never been able to nail the duo, but he uses what he knows of their seedy past to blackmail them into volunteering.
VIBE
A smooth, witty ride through 70s urban landscapes, where unlikely alliances spark feel-good charm. It’s a street-smart buddy comedy about second chances, wrapped in a groovy, character-driven package that feels both classic and fresh.
